I looked through some of my literature and came up with a couple of pictures of the 1915 and 1916 touring cars. I think by the shape of the cowl and the squared area at the bottom of the windshield I looks like yours is most likely a 1915. The 1915 looks more round where the windshield meets the cowl and the radius between the door and the windshield frame mount is not as sharp on the 1916. Take a look at the two pictures and see what you think.
